. . . and I think I can brag that ours is one of the world's best! I took this shot of midtown Manhattan (with a looong lens) from a friend's terrace in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |

ABC Wednesday—S is for "skyline"

The Weekend in Black and White
 |
My hometown can be difficult sometimes— overcrowded subways, high prices, ridiculous traffic. But then there's this. [To see more b/w images, visit Dragonstar's meme.] |

Who knows?
 |
Know the future? Frankly, I'm not so sure I'd want to. How about you? [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

The Weekend in Black and White
 |
Who knows what's missing from this skyline? Hint: This photo was taken in 2011 from a boat on the Hudson River, and there are actually two correct answers. [To see more b/w shots, visit Dragonstar's meme.] |

Nice view
 |
It's not my view, but I do get to enjoy it from time to time—as long as I'm willing to hang out this 10th-story window, that is. [Linking back to Weekend Reflections and to Skywatch Friday.] |

those enormous ornaments
 |
I know I've shown these before, but every year I pass by here (diagonally across 6th Avenue from Radio City Music Hall) and every year I just have to take a picture—and share it. [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

The Weekend in Black and White
 |
The Citicorp Building, all decked out for the holidays, with 12 14-foot stars suspended in the multi-story atrium overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. [To see more black/white images, visit Dragonstar's meme.] |

Buon appetito!
 |
Helped a couple of friends celebrate their mutual birthday here recently. There really aren't that many places in NYC that have been in business for more than 120 years, much less owned and operated by the same family. I hope this one continues to be here for many more decades to come. |

I managed to resist, but it wasn't easy! [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

Thursday Challenge—"night"
 |
Something new(ish) on the New York skyline: the tall, skinny condo in the middle (which is now pretty much completed) is 432 Park Ave., the 3rd-tallest in NYC at 1,396 ft. (425.5 m) and the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. It mostly comprises what they call "ghost apartments," occupied for only a few weeks a year by über-millionaires —I hear that the penthouse has already sold for $95 million. (P.S. — you couldn't pay me to live up there.) [To see more of the Thursday Photo Challenge, go here.] |

ABC Wednesday—F is for "food trucks"
 |
Lined up outside on a recent night when the Metropolitan Museum of Art was open late, these food trucks offered everything from hot dogs to hot soup. But while the food may have been hot, the temp was not. My daughter and niece and I opted instead to hike about 40 blocks (that's two miles) south for some yummy Italian food—and wine—in a nice warm restaurant.

And one last look at this . . .
 |
Because on Wednesday, they'll be turning off the lights on this beautiful tree. Then they take it down and eventually about 3 tons of mulch will be donated to the Boy Scouts. (Not sure I get the connection, but I'm glad they recycle the tree.) [It's Shadow Shot Sunday. To see more, go here.] |

Colors of the Season
 |
They've washed the whole place in red light here at the New York Palace Hotel. (I love it when New York goes a little bit overboard with holiday decorations.) [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

Once upon a time in New York
 |
This year, Saks Fifth Avenue has chosen an "urban fairy tale" theme for their holiday windows—very well executed too! [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

inSPIREd Sunday
 |
There's still some scaffolding around St. Patrick's Cathedral here in NYC, as they continue to renovate—and Atlas is still shouldering his burden across Fifth Avenue. [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |

Thursday Challenge: "my favorite photo"
 |
| I stood under the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree (an 85-foot-tall Norway spruce from Pennsylvania) to take this shot of the angels in the Channel Gardens and the well-lit façade of Saks Fifth Avenue. |
 |
| That's the glow of 45,000 (!) LED lights. [To see more of the Thursday Photo Challenge, visit Dale's meme.] |

New York City . . .
 |
. . . is getting pretty—we definitely know how to decorate for the holidays! (And I hope to show you even more.) [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

Moving in
 |
| . . . on the Upper East Side, just down the block from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I didn't see these folks' furniture, but they had some beautiful mirrors. And no, I didn't— it was already (conveniently) uncovered. [To see more Weekend Reflections, visit James's meme.] |

ABC Wednesday—O is for "opera"
 |
| This picture was taken 5 years ago in the summer— when chairs are set out at Lincoln Center, a big screen is placed on the Metropolitan Opera House, and people gather to enjoy filmed performances from previous opera seasons (in this case, we were about to enjoy La Bohème). But this coming weekend, I will get to experience a live performance of Cosi Fan Tutte here at the Met —conducted by James Levine and compliments of my friend Lisa as a (belated) birthday gift. Can't wait! [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |

Weekend Reflections
 |
| When I'm in the mood for Indian food, I can head to 6th Street in the Village, where the restaurants are lined up cheek by jowl, or around Lexington Ave. in the 20s, where I took this shot. Have never eaten at this place, but it's kind of fun to stand out front and watch the cooks do their thing. [To see more Weekend Reflections, visit James's meme.] |

Shadow Shot Sunday
 |
| This is Rodeo Bar, where the crowd is young, the food is Tex-Mex, the beer is cold, and sometimes they have really good live music ( the band my brother plays in, The Lone Sharks, performs here from time to time, which is pretty much the only reason this place is on my radar).
